1. So long as the Flint residents don't engage in sodomy...

... while bathing in that poison called water. Ah, priorities.

It's interesting that it is more offensive for god-fearing people that others engage in sexual activity of which they don't approve, but not offensive if those self-same people die or are crippled in front of them. But then, Leviticus doesn't say do-dad about not poisoning the water that others drinketh.

2. From link: "Lawmaker Says Removing Sodomy Ban Would Kill An Important Animal Protection Bill"

They know that whole 'gerbil thing' is a myth,....right?

"Won't somebody think of the gerbils!"

[chapdrum]

22. Spot on.

[stonecutter357]

3. K&R!

[yallerdawg]

4. Alabama is working on...

legalizing loaded guns in your personal vehicle - without a permit.

In case you have to stand your ground - in the parking lot - of the bar - or the divorce attorney's office - or your work place. You never know.

Nearby states don't require a concealed carry permit for loaded pistols in cars, according to Senator Allen.

Some lawmakers say it targets law-abiding citizens, not criminals.

"Why are we restricting those who aren't at risk of violating the law, why are we restricting their rights? I think that's a real fundamental question we'll be discussing in the legislature," said Orr.

5. take note people

for those of you who have said you can't support Bernie or HRC if your choice of those two isn't the nominee EarlG's graphic today is just a small part of the blueprint for America that you will see put into motion when a Rethug is elected POTUS.

Get your collective heads out of your butts and support whomever is the Dem nominee - our future depends on it.

[saturnsring]

6. amen

[d_legendary1]

7. Well this is awkward

How come the state can engage in the sodomy of its people by passing butt fucking legislation but anyone having anal sex goes to prison?

[catbyte]

8. THIS is what the bagger legislature in Michigan is busying itself with

instead of addressing the poisoning of an entire city. As a completely fed up and disgusted Michigander, here is a big, fat FUCK YOU to all Republicans who voted for these jackasses and all Democrats who stomped their tiny little feet & held their breath until they turned blue, sat on their asses, and didn't vote during the midterm elections. Well done, asshats. Thanks for absolutely NOTHING.

[chapdrum]

23. Will the poisoned residents

who voted for the "governor" actually renounce their precious party?

Sure hope so.

Then, they can tell their friends in Georgia, Maine, Wisconsin, Ohio, etc., who vote for these vicious frauds OVER and OVER again.

[catbyte]

27. Flint is overwhelmingly Democratic and majority African American. I highly suspect these facts

had much to do with this whole clusterfuck.

[HockeyMom]

9. Show me your Marriage License

before we will serve a Chick Fil A to a pregnant woman?

[captainarizona]

10. 25 years in prision for michigan republicans who voted for this bill

and life in prison for those are responsible for the crime of poisoning flints children and killing them with legionaries disease.

[chapdrum]

19. As if this would ever happen

in America.

These murderers are yet another example of "too big to jail."

They don't call it "The Land of the Free" for nothing.

[Metro135]

11. Isn't this nice?

So if you’re an unmarried pregnant woman in South Dakota, you can be freely discriminated against. And if you’re an unmarried woman who was impregnated through a rape, you have to carry the baby to term (thanks, Marco) while being discriminated against.

This is our Republican future.

[chapdrum]

20. It sure is nice.

I came of age with Nixon. Though too young at the time to understand the issues, can vividly recall his shifty eyes and perspiring lip during his debates with JFK.

Formed a childhood impression of him (and thus his party) that has, sadly, lasted to this day.

Though can't speak to the letter of the law, Republicans appear more often than not, seditious.

[catbyte]

28. Bookstores will have to move Margaret Atwood's book, "A Handmaid's Tale" from Fiction

to Non-Fiction. Words are inadequate to describe the evil in today's Republican party.

[lark]

12. Rat bastards!

Another heinous example -

FL is in the process of changing it's laws to drive abortion providers out of business and to make it so that counties and cities can't stop fracking in their vicinity. Scott is a rat bastard and has always been one.

[chapdrum]

21. Scott's former company (health insurer, iirc)

perpetrated the largest Medicare fraud to date.

Of course, he's "governor."

[lark]

24. Voldemort (aka Scott) is the worst of the worst.

Stealing from seniors, that's just unforgivable. What he's doing now to the people in my state is on par with that, IMO.

[awoke_in_2003]

13. The bastards never stop. nt

[yuiyoshida]

14. Regarding the Bill In Michigan

will it require a surveillance camera installed over the bed room? I am sure it will require proof and not Hear-say? When will the good people of Michigan be required to have their cameras installed?

[63splitwindow]

15. Because...

16. Nobody In Michigan Senate Knows How To Do A Google

Otherwise they would not be wasting taxpayer money on legislation known to be fatally defective.

[Conch]

17. All in the name of small government!

liberty and justice for all!

[chapdrum]

18. Bold moves by the One-Tenth of One Percent

And the Stupor Bowl (so I hear) was another vigorous display of their intent.

Nordic countries are looking better 'n' better.

[Duppers]

25. Grief!

Must make calls, send emails.

26. Add this: "Supreme Court blocks Obama carbon emissions plan"

While all eyes are on the Presidential race.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10141342945

The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday delivered a major blow to President Barack Obama by blocking federal regulations to curb carbon dioxide emissions from power plants, the centerpiece of his administration's strategy to combat climate change.

On a 5-4 vote, the court granted a request made by 27 states and various companies and business groups to block the administration's Clean Power Plan. --Reuters - more at the DU OP

We have much to do, friends. Revolutionize Congress. Revolutionize the Supreme Court.

FDR's threat to "pack the Supreme Court"--how the wingers of that era put it; it's actually quite legal, constitutional and okay to expand the number of justices--SAVED Social Security. The pressure caused one justice to change his mind, and Social Security was thereby NOT declared unconstitutional!

To revolutionize Congress we need to get rid of the 'TRADE SECRET' voting machines. They are WHY we have a Congress with an 8% approval rating. Most of them were NOT elected. That will also help with the mad fascists running some of our state governments.
